    unseen hands took it out to the Church beneath the waves called Teampall Fé Thuinn.
    This manner of burial continued until the son of a chieftain died. His mother was so broken hearted with grief, that she could not leave the corpse alone. She remained there until midnight and she heard a voice saying to her.
    When mortal eyes our work shall spy
    When mortal ear our dirge shall hear
    The burial of the Cantillons is oer.
